Whether you’re a foodie or a science geek, there’s something for everyone at a new food festival - less than an hour from Nottingham.

The National Space Centre, in Leicester, is hosting a Saturday night with a difference. Food, drink, live music and science will keep visitors entertained at A Taste of Science.

The centre will be filled with a market of food stalls, workshops, talks, demonstrations, experiments, music and a food court.

Guests will be able to drop in to the demonstration kitchen in the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium, to see Great British Bake Off finalist and Rolls Royce aerospace engineer, Andrew Smyth, make heat shielding meringues and spacecraft from honeycomb.

Chef Kwoklyn Wan will be hosting a special sushi masterclass, whilst the award winning chocolatiers from Cocoa Amore will be bringing their expertise to chocolate tasting sessions.

From cheese to coffee, via cake and wine, the market will reflect some of the region’s best makers, producers and creators.
